What a game … just epic

The dees inability to kick straight costs them again big time. 17 behinds & 2 out on the fulls.

Walsh was outstanding
I wonder what caused Melbourne's poor kicking for goal this finals series. Fatigue? Pressure? Perceived pressure? Lack of poise? Skill deficiencies?

Goodwin and Co. have a lot to think about in the off-season.

I'm just about old enough to remember the 99 prelim final.

If you'd told me then it would take this long to play another game with that level of consequence, I would have laughed you out of town. But here we are.

Boy does it feel sweet.

Doubt I'll have any luck but I'll be moving heaven and earth to get into the Gabba next Saturday. It's been a long time since I felt like this about my team!

Melbourne really have underachieved since winning the flag. After 2021, I'm sure most of us would have expected Melbourne to win another flag due to the quality of their list.
Still plenty of time. Hawthorn took five years to come back and win it again, Geelong a decade. And they have six years of Oliver and Trac left!
